Note: 1

Marriage of James Leask (1836) and Sarah McPherson - Married on same day as their brother and sister but different locations ?

Note: 2

Marriage of James Leask (1836) and Sarah McPherson - the Bayanne entry states the marriage was at Rumpa but the official marriage record states that the marriage took place at Hill Side, which is where both bride and groom resided. Marilyn Pope has suggested that "Hill side" might have been one house within the hamlet of Rumpa

Note: 3

Marriage of James Leask (1836) and Sarah McPherson: Marilyn Pope has pointed out that James, his brother Laurence M. and his half-brother George married sisters Sarah, Catherine and Elizabeth McPherson, who I suspect lived either in the same house or next door at Hill Side or Rumpa.

Notes

Note

James Leask and Sarah McPherson - Given their children's birth dates I might expect a missing child or children born around 1872 and 1874. However I can find no birth record for a potential missing child from 1870 to 1876 and the 1911 census confirms that James and Sarah had five children, one of whom, John, had died before 1911.
